It was very active in the shop tank, and was with SAPs and fig8s also. It has no eyespot that I could see, so I think that rules out the abei and coch.? It also says duboisi acts like the miurus in the pufferpedia, lurking for fish, but it was very active. Im confused!
Wat did I just get???

Ive just been given a new puffer free of charge from a lfs. I think it may be either a duboisi, abei, or cochinchinensis. I'll get pics up tomorrow.

I've decided now that it may be the T. duboisi now that ive googled it, but im not sure and I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.
I've had to acclimate it to the college tapwater of hard, pH 8.2 water til friday when I can get it home so I'll have to see how he is in the morning. The only system free was a secure bit in the malawi sump! He'll be out by friday though.
